Awesome, it’s time to upload meshes without having to dig into the Game Explorer, which is not available in local files.

I fully agree. I usually open a blank place to quickly import/prepare a mesh before I use it, and needing to publish the baseplate to an actual game I owned was always a pain.
That and having to scroll through all the files you’d imported in the past to insert the most recent ones into workspace

You have no idea how much I appreciate this, thank you.

One of those things you didn’t really know you needed. Roblox has ridiculously slow mesh import times.

Especially considering the simple fact that in order to upload multiple Meshes, you have to use the game explorer, or used to have to use it, which takes way more time than is needed.

How did you prompt the file explorer? :o
There’s always that one ingenius member on the DevForum who uses features wrongly to make something very useful (you shouldn’t be using ImportFbxRig to import single meshes, yet you did). Cheers. 
Handled by the method automatically.

Hey that’s pretty awesome. I’ll definitely make use of this. Having to insert a MeshPart and load it from the MeshId entry box was always a little bit of a hassle.

Like colbert mentioned, the new method does most of the heavy lifting. plugin:ImportFbxRig handles the file explorer opening and selection, uploading of the meshes and putting it in workspace. Essentially the only manual part I’ve done is made it clean up all the leftovers afterwards (as it also adds a HumanoidRootPart and some other character-related bits).

Thank you. I’ll be utilizing this for my projects more often now! Much more efficient, very useful for when I’ve got limited time on my hands.

Sorry for asking, but why would I use your plugin instead of the normal Roblox plugin? I am scripting my own importer from scratch and am interested to see how others do to import their plugins
As far as I could tell when I made this plugin, there was no way to quickly import a generic mesh into studio. The standard way involved using the import button in the game explorer which requires multiple steps (and can be annoying if you mostly use locally saved files like I do).
Note that this plugin isn’t for importing an avatar like the Roblox plugin - it’s for a generic mesh like a tree or a teapot (though it uses the same API as the Roblox plugin). If there is a Roblox made plugin for doing this already, let me know

Thanks, now I understand it now!
Not that I know, but I am making one so, I just want to know your reason
Since this plugin is basically just a wrapper for the ImportFbxRig API, I can’t solve much to do with the actual mesh importing unfortunately.
If you want to, you can DM me your blend file and I’ll see if there’s anything that can be fixed on my end.
